Enable MinT, Content and Section Translation for a 3rd group of 10 languages previously lacking machine translation
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As machine translation becomes available in more languages with MinT and NLLB-200 models, we want to expose the improved translation tools more broadly to facilitate the creation of content for those communities.

This ticket selects an third set of languages, after T337669, that had no machine translation services available before. This ticket proposes to enable machine transition using MinT, set Content Translation as a default tool and enable the mobile experience with Section Translation. As part of this process, we'll generate the template parameter alignments (T221211) for these languages, enable access to the tool in test wiki, and communicate with the different communities to inform them about the changes.

These are the languages selected for this task:

  1. Acehnese (ace/ace_Latn)
  2. Buginese (bug/bug_Latn)
  3. Dzongkha (dz/dzo_Tibt)
  4. Fijian (fj/fij_Latn)
  5. Kabiyè (kbp/kbp_Latn)
  6. Latgalian (ltg/ltg_Latn)
  7. Rundi (rn/run_Latn)
  8. Sicilian (scn/scn_Latn)
  9. Southwestern Dinka (din/dik_Latn)
  10. Tok Pisin (tpi/tpi_Latn)

Steps:

  • Enable Content Translation as default in the selected Wikipedias
  • Enable Section Translation in the selected Wikipedias
  • Generate template parameter alignments (T221211)
    • ace
    • bug
    • dz
    • fj
    • kbp (No FastText model available)
    • ltg (No Template:Cite web available)
    • rn
    • scn
    • din (No FastText model available)
    • tpi
